We had a wonderful stay - what a special home! It's a beautiful house, but also has so many lovely details. We were in town for a wedding at French's Point and the location was very convenient- only a 7-8 minute drive. Highly recommend walking over to "Just Barb's" for a delicious breakfast. Amanda was an excellent and friendly host. We hope to return!

Maureen! Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure hosting you all. It was a delight to see you and your family dressed for the wedding and enjoy the mid coast area.

A delightful stay. The whole house was clean, comfortable and attractively decorated. The kitchen is nicely equipped and the beds very comfortable, and the grounds were very nicely maintained . Amanda was great about communication, and every aspect of the stay was great. We were visiting family, and wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again.

This is a beautiful, comfortable home that’s very pet-friendly. This is the rare home that’s just as gorgeous when you walk in as it is on the website. It’s a pleasure to cook in the professional grade kitchen. If cooking isn’t your thing there is an excellent restaurant (The Club) nearby. It’s an easy drive from Camden or Belfast and only about an hour from Acadia NP. Amanda, the host and owner, is responsive and a great source of information about the local area. We’re already planning our return.

Lovely 19th century feel with a very modern kitchen. The host and fellow-inhabitant (of the back of the building) were charming, the very few times we saw them. Expectations were clear to us, but to reiterate; there's one shower and one giant tub in two bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom is accessed via one of the two bedrooms. We found this only slightly awkward. Put an "early riser" in one of those bedrooms. Location is perfect for visiting Belfast, Bucksport, or day trips to Blue Hills, Mount Desert Island, Camden, etc. Some traffic noise went away at bedtime. Lovely art and furnishings made the place feel special.

Thank you Peter! Reiterating the bathroom situation is helpful. Many don’t look at all the pics and read that the single room is a room-hall before the bathroom. Maybe they’ll read it here! Thank goodness there are three other large bedrooms and folks rarely use the single, except those with kids. I’ll also mention here that the stairs are steep! And there is only one shower and it’s on the second floor. The clawfoot tub in the first floor bath sure is inviting though! We enjoyed hosting you four and hope that you will come back and visit again. There is so much to see here in the mid coast of Maine!

Beautifully-appointed, very clean, comfortable bright, updated historic home in easy-access central location. Large kitchen had all that we needed, set up in a user-friendly way. Bathrooms great with lovely old bathtub, great water pressure, super cushy towels! Wifi worked great. Amanda and Tiff the housekeeper were very helpful and easy and fun to interact with, and we looked forward to seeing the dogs Mike and Helen each day. Our only slight issue was with high season traffic noise at night from Route 1, which is understandable given location, it just caught us off guard. Once we adjusted to it, it was fine. We kayaked, hiked, and ate out daily in all locations within an hour of the house. A few miles away at Stockton Springs Marina is an EXCELLENT restaurant called The Cove which is like eating at the home of a friend who happens to be a pro chef. Highly recommended.

Thanks Alyssa! Having lived in a city and suburban area, I don’t much notice any noise, but now I’m listening for it - and I can see how it might impact early bed-goers or late risers! The pups, Mike and Helen, already miss you and Allison. Thanks for treating them so well. The restaurant you’re referring to is The Club at Stockton Springs Marina. And you’re exactly right, it’s fantastic! Im glad you were able to take many of my recommendations, and, to give me some new places To recommend moving forward. Mike, Helen, Todd and I look forward to hosting you and Allison again!
